- Populism (Wikipedia)
Populism is a range of political stances that emphasize the idea of “the people” and often juxtapose this group with “the elite”. It is frequently associated with anti-establishment and anti-political sentiment. The term developed in the late 19th century and has been applied to various politicians, parties and movements since that time, often as a pejorative. Within political science and other social sciences, several different definitions of populism have been employed, with some scholars proposing that the term be rejected altogether.
